Beekeeping is one of the fastest growing hobbies in America. It not only helps your local ecosystem itโs also rewarding. When you harvest your first honey the feeling you get is undescribable. Contrary to popular belief It doesnโt require lots of land and two or three hives in your backyard would go unnoticed by neighbors. A good healthy hive can produce 40-60lbs of honey a year. If you are interested in becoming a beekeeper and want to join a very special alumni visit www.honeycombheroes.com and pre-order your Nucleus hive for this season.
Doors are opening soon for the first day of the Richmond Oktoberfest at the meadow event park! If you canโt make it tonight, come by tomorrow from 3pm-11pm.
Gonna start raising these little guys. Our chickens are going to love them!

Our ladies coming in for a snack. They have really helped keep our bees healthy and strong. We thought they would eat the bees, but they would rather eat the bugs and beetles that might be hanging around the hives. #freshbuttnuggets #fresheggs #honeycombheroes #staffordva #fredericksburgva
Turning one hive into 4 hives.
